getmail is a simple mail retrieval agent intended as a replacement for fetchmail, implemented in Python.[5] It can retrieve mail from POP3,[3] IMAP4,[5] and Standard Dial-up POP3 Service servers, with or without SSL. It supports simple and domain (multidrop) mailboxes, mail filtering via any arbitrary program, and supports a wide variety of mail destination types, including mboxrd, maildir,[3][6] and external arbitrary mail delivery agents.[5] It also has a simpler configuration syntax than fetchmail, but supports fewer authentication protocols. The software can also function as a basic mail delivery agent.[5]
Getmail is free software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.[1] It is written and maintained by Charles Cazabon.[1]
The original getmail software requires Python 2, which is no longer supported. A fork named getmail6, which is not from getmail's original author, provides Python 3 support.
